ALL indications point to the probability that the present year will close upon the most unprecedented prosperity in Pinal county. As Q producer of mineral wealth the prospects, are indeed bright
 The Silver King will henceforth be ena- bled to run to the full capacity of its stamps; the Vekol will run day and night; the Tortillita will increase it's number of stamps; the Mammoth will keep an even hundred stamps busy; the Southern Belle is in fine condition to surpass its former record; the Reymert is making the most elaborate and careful pre- parations to be- gin on a long and profitable run; the Crispn is developing an abundance of rich ores; the Great Eastern and the Mayhower mines of Messrs. Chillson tS Hindsat the Vekol camp will probably command a mill; two or three other prop critics in the southern portion of the county, whose names we do not recall at this time, are about ready for reduction works; the Putnam Mill at Riverside IS s,lsssst Ss-- -ssEizz s.StiSs saaA..a tia1.s: the San Pedro Company will have a mill erected on their Sample group, and there are several other worthy properties suffi- ciently exploited to warrant the erection of works at once. What an array of mining properties, upon paying basis, indeed They are all in the rich little county of Pinal, and they each add to its general prosperity. We have much to hope for in this direction, and the fu- ture IS gorgeous with golden promise.
 As great as the mineral resources of our county appear to be and they are in them selves remarkable for their extent and value, they by no means represent the sum of our mineral resoures. Our agri- cultural possibilities are unparalleled, and the dawn of the new year will witness such activity along the route of the new canal as but few people dream of Thou sands of acres ofnew land will be brought under cultivation, the limit of whose worth IS something almost incalculable. With more than one hundred thousand acres of reclaimed land planted to fruit and vine in addition to that now under cul- tivation there will come about marvel of change for the better and one can scare ly grasp its importance without recalling the wonderful history of the past year ill southern California, where fruit lands and vineyards have advanced in value to five hundred and even thousand dollars per acre. Here we enjoy special advantages of earlier season, better climate, free dom from mould and insects, and near ness to markets, and our lands ought cer- tainly to possess ne less value than those beyond the Colorado. Altogether we have much ta-laals-fArH..d to in tba coming year, and only Q czin1ntty can postpone the prosperity tEs.t seems to force itself upon our fortunate people.

WHILE many people who are unac- quainted with the practical advantages of artificial irrigation condemn that method as expensive and abnormal, the test of time accords to it a position of the high est importance in agricultural economy. Lands that depend exclusively upon arti- ficial irrigation for their crops give better and more uniform results than those de- pending upon variable rainfall. They receive the water when it is needed and the supply is readily regulated to the re- quirements of the crop. Regarding the value of irrigation, Mir. Jesse Harris, of Colorado, who has visited the irrigated portions of France, gives the following interesting information. He says: "Who has not heard of the fertile plains of Lom- bardy, province of France? Here 1, 600, : 900 acres are irrigated by works costing S3,000, 900, and irrigation has increased the rental value of the land by the enor- nous sum of S4, 300, 900 per annum. And be it remembered that the rainfall on the Lombardy plains is smaller than that of Colorado. Lombardy supports popula- tion of over 8, 300, ,OoO, and there is nothing grown there that cannot be grown in Col. orado. looked among the dense farm population, and so far as could observe they appeared prosperous and quite hap py. Every householder offered me wine and fruit and plain food we'll cooked. Lombardy is not unlike our own Colorado in many particulars. Nothing grows here without irrigation, and with it the earth is big with vegetation" Here upon the Gila river, with abundant water ana plenty of land as fertile as soil can be with a climate that is unequaled anG eager markets for all our products, tht conditions are far more perfect for pros perity than in the province of which MT Harris speaks, and though the water res ervoirs should cost hundreds of thous ands of dollars to construct, as profit able investment no thing is more safe
 while the value to the country is incal culable. alk lf dlEI ..i'

THE San Francisco Chronicle claims that Mrs Langtry is the first woman nat uralized in the Uuited States, and this announcement was deemed sufficiently important fer Pittsburgh press agent to telegraph that woman was naturalized there five years ago. When will those eastern papers stop boasting of their pro- gressiveness and bring forth some real tangible evidence of noveltyl The Yuma Sentinel upsets all their glory by assert ing that Mrs. Chas. LeRoy, Spanish lady, was naturalized in Yuma fifteen years ago. This is another evidence of the superiority of Arizona soil and eli mate.

Judge Anderson, of this place, who, visited Honolulu about two years ago., says the dissatisfaction with Gibson and his accomplices was openly expressed at that time and he realized that change must sooner or later take place. The old regime has died of it's own corruption.

THE discovery of the rich body of ore in the Crispin mine at Silver King, giv> ing evidence of the north and south trend of the ledge, is circumstance of great importance to that camp, as well as to the county at large, Large sums of money have been expended in searching for the Silver King ledge, the belief be- ing that it run in an easterly and wester- ly direction, but the late decisive discov- cry by B. w. and Pat Connolly sets the matter at rest This fact will stimulate work on the South Silver King, the North King, the Tildcn and even so far as the Monai eh of the Sea claim, and as- tonishing results may be expected. There will now be but little difficulty in defn- ing the exact course of the ledge and but little waste work need be done. The King IS surely destined to become the ,ssene of great setivity and it's mines will become famous for the rich and abund- ant ore deposits.

Ar the recent session of the Board of Supervisors an effort was made to con vince that body that the expenses incur red in preventing the introduction of contagious disease were unwarranted and not authorized by law. Their action was certainly not prohibited by law, and the emergency was surely one that came within their discretionary powers. The money was not squandered, nor uselessly expended, for it served to protect the people from the introduction of pesti- lential disease whose fatal ravages are with difficulty combatted. The Board was perfectly justiiable in its action and the people are deeply grateful to them for their prompt and effective action when confronted by danger.

The Hip Pocket.

The hip pocket and carrying of Pts
tolls should be numbered among the
things Of the past.
There is a statute upon our books
that makes it MiSdemeanor in North
carolina 70 carry concealed weapons.
but this is only bosh, it is worse than
no law at all, upon the subject. No
one is ever, or rarely convicted, and if
any are, the punishment amounts to
nothing, they are generally discharg-
ed upon payment Of cost.
What the country at this time
wants, lie, that the Legislature pass a
law making it Felony to carry con.
cealed weapons, excepting certain of.
ficers of the law.
You can bnv a pistol now from so
cents all the way up. this puts one in
the pocket of every boy in the land
and many a good man has lost bis life
by a pistol ball in the hands Of a reck.
less or drunken man and many hith.
erto, worthy men have gone to the
galIows By useless and improper use
Of the pistol Ninety nine out Of eve
~ hundred boys aud men now carry
ing pistols have no need for them and
ought not to be allowed to do go.
Would it not be wise in the mex
Legislature to make carrying conceal
ed weapons felony.I

Purgery.


In olden times perjury was punish.
ed most severely, but as time passed
and in proportion to the relaxotion OF
punishment the detestable crime OF
purgery increased, until to-day swear
ing falselyis just as common as swear
ing TO the truth, il not more 50.
No one who gives his attention to
the proceedings o. our courts, and will
closely observe the examination OF
witnesses and particularly those wit
nesses who are interested as to the
result, but will be forcibly impress
ed with the tatol disregard OF truth.
To escape punishment due to violated
law aud gain the point at issue seems
to be paramount to everything else
and the most general way they adopt
to avoid the truth when confronted
upon cross examination with q search
ing question is, BY saying. Il don't
recollect'' or Il don't remember
while to all questions favorable TO
their sid-, their memory is perfectly
clear and they can readily tell all they
know and more too.
We do not complain at the severity
OF the punishment, it may be suffi-
cieut, but we do complain at the total
neglect of the Courts and the solicit
tors, and all other good citizens i'll
not bringing this class Of rascals to
punishment. When it becomes appa
rent that a witness, as to a material
fact is swearing falsely, he should be
immediately prayed into custody and
required to give security for his ap-
pearapce to answer to a charg eoi
perjury. Ii a few Of these geutry
were dealt with pretty roughly it
might be terror to others.
Therefore we call upon Judges and
Solicitors to make an example Of some
OF them, it would have q wholesome
influence among rascals. IS

A Public Question.

Il is suggested that some Of the
Republican Congressman from the
Northwest, whose constituents have
protested against the useless and bur-
densome, continuation Of tie war adj
ditions to the tariff, may vote with
the majority Of the Democrats to re-
duce the taxes
II would not be strange II some 81
the Republicans from New England,
whose manufacturers are calling for
cheaper raw materials to enable them
to compete with foreign rivals in the
markets Of tie East aud OF Central
aud South America, should vote in
the same way. Senators Hoar aud
Dawes have both spoken ia favor OF
such action,
The prevention Of the surplus by u
reduction Of taxes is a public, not a
party question, and il should be
treated as such. In their national
platforms both parties are committed
to substantially the same line 81 ac-
ton In regard 70 4. 10 the repubIi-
can resolutions II was declared that
the party pledges itself 10 correct the
inequalities Of the tariff and to reduce
the surplus The Democratic plat
form vas simply more explicit and
emphatic in the same direction.
All men who love their country
more than their party. and who favor
the people instead Of moDopolies and
tax,easers. should act together Ia
stop the surplus.
